Copy Commands for Various Windows

Image Window

The Copy Window (Ctrl+W) command copies the screen representation of the displayed image. All overlay markers and labels are also copied.

The Copy Bitmap command copies the image but no overlay graphics.

The Copy Markers command (Ctrl+Shift+C) copies markers such as photometry apertures, registration points, or line profile segments to the clipboard. These may be pasted into a different image window to duplicate the markers.

Plot Window

The Copy Window command copies the plot to the clipboard as a 24 bit RGB bitmap.

Editor Window

The Copy command (Ctrl+C) copies all of the window's text or the highlighted text to the clipboard in Rich Text (.rtf) format.

Report Window

The Copy command (Ctrl+C) copies all cells or the selected cells to the clipboard as tab-separated ASCII text. This can be readily pasted into other software Applications such as Microsoft Excel or text processing software.

Various Dialogs

Many dialogs contain a copy button, including FITS Header. These buttons copy the window data to the clipboard as ASCII text. The text can be pasted into other windows or Applications using the familiar Edit > Copy protocol.
